Magnus,
Where are the undefined symbols? If they are in your own code, perhaps
defined in the executable, then you won't be able to port to Win32,
period.
Under Windows, DLL's have to be fully resolved, this is always a good
idea
but Windows is the only platform that I'm aware of where it is required.
If your project is building and running under Linux (or some similar OS)
you can add a linker flag to cause it to be an error if a symbol is
unresolved.
That may help you find out where the problem is.
HTH,
Robert
